Of course, if your sets are complete or nearly so, you could always go with Capital plastics, either stock or custom made.

I have 11 dansco's that my Aussie coins live in and 11 Whitman albums that my US coins have a home in. I also have 3 albums that take the 2x2's in to house my other collections in. As far as push in albums go I actually prefer the Whitman's, I've had a lot of strife with the danscos with coins falling out or the holes are just too darn tight there is a danger of bending the coin putting it in there. The most versatile are the 2x2 albums. I also have a few of the lighthouse boxes that hold 100 2x2's for some of my spare/doubles coins |

I have 3 of the Intercept Shield albums for Indians, Mercs, and Peace dollars. I haven't had any trouble except for one coin I thought might be a counterfeit. It was just worn and a bit bigger in diameter. Everything else fit like a glove. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

I like to make my own albums with 3 ring zip-up binders and coin sheets. That way I can just configure them any way I like. Can also put data sheets in them.
It's a really nice set up for my Roman imperial collection. The coins go in their coin sheets and I put up a sheet for each coin with a large photo and a short bio about the emperor/subject.

 Down with albums Coins are meant to be held. I use capsules for all of my coins and display them how and where I want.  |

That's why I have albums. So I CAN take em out and hold em whenever I want. I cracked some out of slabs just or that reason. I wish I would have put the labels from the slabs in the back of the albums. It was one of those "oh no" moments when I saw pics of somebodies that had done that....DOH !

My grandfather passed down a bunch of Whitman albums to me, and I have since stayed with that tradition. I have never had a problem with mine.
I do have one dansco album for my IH cents. It's nice

Once more for you Dansco Album Slide complainers. Simply remove the slides, use a scissors and cut a notch out of the end of the page where the slides are. Then you too would have that notch to grab the slides so you don't have to press on them by a coin to remove them.
At a coin show last Sunday a dealer gave me a box of Albums and Folders and all free. Haven't counted them but appears to be about 50. Problem is about 75% are all for Canadian coins. Still all free.
